We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Competa in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Competa a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
